"It's nothing, just a fight. You don't need to worry about it. Go back first; you still have a project to attend this afternoon."
Zhan Mohan remained tight-lipped about the matter, not even telling Jiang Siyu that he and Wei Yumeng had essentially fallen out.
This made Jiang Siyu feel even more resentful. Although she knew the child in Wei Yumeng's womb was Zhan Mohan's, Zhan Mohan didn't, which presented an opportunity for her.
She cautiously reached out and grabbed Zhan Mohan's sleeve, looking at him pitifully. No man could likely resist such an appeal.
"Ahan, I overheard what you were saying just now. The child in Miss Wei's womb is not yours, isn't that why you came to the hospital today to confirm it?"
Zhan Mohan had hidden his negative emotions very well, believing it was his private matter to handle. Now that Jiang Siyu knew, he felt an inexplicable awkwardness.
It wasn't something to be ashamed of. Feelings were always mutual; a clap required two hands, and he wasn't someone who couldn't let things go.
He just didn't want Jiang Siyu to interfere in these matters.
Jiang Siyu noticed the change in Zhan Mohan's expression and felt a bit intimidated. However, she couldn't back down now. Otherwise, if they got back together someday, she would truly have no chance.
"Ahan, I don't mean anything else. I'm just very worried about you. I just feel that what Miss Wei is doing to you is inhumane. How can she enjoy your thoughtfulness, care, and love while carrying another man's child? She's bullying you too much."
Zhan Mohan coldly pushed away her hand, his attitude distant and indifferent.
"This has nothing to do with you. How I handle it is my business."
"How can it have nothing to do with me? Ahan, even if we are not a couple now, we can't say we have no connection at all."
His words truly hurt her. Even heaven had seen her devotion to him, yet his eyes were only on someone named Wei Yumeng.
Zhan Mohan was now like an ice-covered thousand-mile landscape. It seemed he couldn't hear anyone's words. He had his own decision-making power and didn't need advice from others, especially not from an ex-girlfriend.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, reached out, and gently turned Jiang Siyu's shoulders.
"Go back and change. Fang Xun will pick you up this afternoon. That meeting is very important and will be very beneficial for you. Don't let it go to waste."
With that, Zhan Mohan turned and walked in another direction. Jiang Siyu, unwilling to give up, wanted to call out to him, but his attitude made her unsure how to speak, and ultimately, she remained silent.
Looking at Zhan Mohan's tall yet lonely back, she felt both heartache and helplessness. But her heartache was something he didn't need.
It truly proved the saying that in relationships, no matter how good someone is to you, if you don't like them, even if they give their life, that person will remain unmoved.
However, as long as he hadn't made a final decision, it meant she still had a chance. She wouldn't give up, and she would never let a woman like Wei Yumeng have Zhan Mohan. She didn't deserve him!
Wei Yumeng walked aimlessly down the street, sneezing several times in a row. She frowned, wondering if someone was talking about her. Could it be Zhan Mohan?
But he probably didn't have the leisure to curse her right now, busy accompanying Jiang Siyu. After all, when he protected her earlier from those people, the way he did it made her envious.
But what right did she have to stop him from protecting Jiang Siyu? As his wife? That didn't seem right, especially since at the hospital earlier, she had vehemently denied that the child in her womb was his. Now, to suddenly tell him, "You can't protect other women," she found it ridiculous just thinking about it.
Her heart ached to the point of suffocation, as if a large stone were pressing down on it, making it hard to breathe. So, this was what it felt like to truly love someone. Seeing the man you love with another woman was an unbearable, heart-wrenching pain.
That sense of powerlessness was tormenting her to the brink of collapse.
If she weren't on the main road, she would have loved to burst into tears. She had personally pushed away the man she loved the most.
But what could she do? Could she continue to live with him as if nothing had happened, act as if nothing was wrong, and live in love and affection when something in her heart gnawed at her? It was impossible; her heart wasn't that big.
Anyone else would probably feel the same.
Suddenly, a car horn blared from behind, startling Wei Yumeng. She instinctively turned and saw Chu Zian sitting in the car, taking off his sunglasses.
"Get in."
Wei Yumeng had walked for a long time and was indeed tired. More importantly, she desperately needed to find a quiet place to sort out everything that had happened recently.
After getting into the car, Chu Zian noticed her pale face and low mood. She remained silent. He reached out and patted her head.
"What's wrong?"
Wei Yumeng didn't speak, but tears surged forth like a flood, pouring out at that moment and catching Chu Zian completely off guard.
"What's… what's going on? Don't cry, tell me what happened."
Chu Zian comforted her while hastily handing her tissues. He had never seen Wei Yumeng so emotionally broken before, but he could guess the general direction. It must be because of Zhan Mohan.
Who else could affect her emotions so deeply besides the one who occupied her thoughts?
Wei Yumeng's body trembled uncontrollably. She was crying so hard that she seemed to have forgotten to even answer. She didn't know what to say now, only that she felt incredibly sad and urgently needed to vent.
When she had cried enough, Chu Zian spoke again.
"Have you cried enough? If you have, we can address the situation now. Did Zhan Mohan find out that the child in your womb is not his?"
"Yes."
Wei Yumeng nodded, her shoulders still trembling.
Chu Zian didn't know what to say. He gently patted Wei Yumeng's shoulder.
"Being sad won't help. Isn't this the path you chose? Why don't you go back and tell Zhan Mohan that you can accept him being ambiguous with Jiang Siyu, that you can accept Jiang Siyu appearing in your lives anytime, that you can accept him staying out sometimes? Then your relationship might be salvaged."
"No!"
Wei Yumeng refused without a second thought. If she could truly accept it, why would she be in such a miserable state? Why would she be heartbroken watching the man she loved protect another woman and be unable to do anything? That powerlessness was driving her to the brink of breakdown.
Chu Zian spread his hands helplessly, "See, the answer in your heart is already very clear. Why are you still agonizing over it?"
